Chapter 167 166: I Desire You, But Not Now.



Raven didn't take the bus but jogged to the entertainment district before turning left and heading towards the trading area arriving at the "Goblin Anvil" Its rustic outer look had not changed since he last came as the image of the lovely Mel'Zentia could be seen hammering away through the glass.

'She seems a little dolled up, her lips are painted with a lovely pink, makeup like never before.. even her blacksmith outfit seems fancier...'

He didn't want to be conceited, but he somehow knew it was because of him she was dressed so well and wore makeup. 

Her soft silky olive skin shimmering from the furnace light was alluring as he stepped into the door, taking a deep breath.

*Ding-a-Ling*

A new bell sounded as it chimed above him, the sound wasn't loud, but she could hear it even while hammering the current tool on her bench.

She placed it down and picked up another before immediately turning around and spotting Raven.

"Raven!..." she exclaimed before dropping the hammer and rushing over to hug him tightly.

"I am glad you returned today; I've missed you so much." Zentia's words were muffled as her face was buried in his chest.

Raven held her—her warmth was like a small flame warming his body. "You seem different, is something wrong?" he asked, pulling her out of his chest to look into her eyes.

Zentia blushed and smiled happily before looking down. "No, there's nothing wrong with me—I am fine." She replied.

"Really?" He asked.

"Raven," She smiled and nodded before changing the subject, her hand still holding his, with a coy look on her face. "Anyway, you said you were going to hunt? A dragon, was it?" She asked.

"Uh... well, yes, it was... But I'm afraid we must make some changes, Zentia."

The beautiful goblin looked at him with confusion as she tilted her head. "Mmmm, your current axe is a bit useless against a dragon's flame as I never considered it... But... if you kiss me, I will give you something special for your armour and weapon! Something that could resist a dragon 10 times stronger than Zeon's Zera Flare! It could even resist the superior Anima Flare!"

"Zentia," He said calmly as she stared into her eyes, making sure she saw he wasn't messing around.

"What?" she asked, confused, before stroking the back of his hand with her fingers, smiling at him sincerely.

Raven found her irresistible since they met like she was the bacon to his cheeseburger. Yet today was different, the way she was more modest and gentle caused him to feel a more emotional attraction than just physical, but he didn't want to be thrown around by his momentary feelings. He would only take things further with women in the future if he genuinely loved them. 

Even if he slept with the girls at the brothel, not all of them could be like Miriam to him. 

Seeing her face, a sense of calm washed over him, making the extreme hormones and desire fade and become less potent.

Raven leaned forward and kissed her gently as he let go of her hand and smiled.

"Thank you for the offer, Zentia. But if you want to kiss me for payment, I will." His voice trailed off, seeing her face look happy, but the tone and words he said made him realise it was a transaction dulling the joy. 

She had been unable to forget him since they met, constantly getting advice from her 6 aunts, mother and many sisters... Even her dad told her he might be a special guy if he resisted her charms. 

Because of all her parents' daughters, she only inherited the Goblin Queen bloodline and her father's Incubus Emperor bloodline, which had mutated into a strange Chimera-like Goblin Queen/Succubus Queen bloodline... Her family had been looking for her a suitable male to breed with her.

They wanted grandchildren, after all, but she was reluctant to allow any random guy to lay with her.

Zentia thought Raven was ideal as he was a strong, handsome, gentle, caring, and smart male. He wasn't like the other men who came looking for her for her body... She knew he was being kind to her, not for her looks.

"Zentia... are you listening?" His deep voice sounded, shaking her shoulder's gently to make sure she was alright.

"Hueh!? Sorry... I was thinking...." 

Raven smiled, stroking her soft black hair, "If you let me pay normally, I'll kiss you for free, not to pay for my weapons but because I want to kiss a cute Goblin.

She looked at him for a moment blankly, as if her mind was registering what he said before her smooth olive face became dark purple from her blushing. "O-Okay!" She exclaimed.

She held his hand and led him to the bench where her hammer and other tools were placed. She looked around and moved one of the larger benches before sitting on it, "Come, sit," She said, patting the spot next to her.

He sat down and faced her, seeing her blush and look away awkwardly, not knowing where to begin.

Raven grabbed her chin with his finger and thumb, turning her face towards him.

"Zentia, I warn you. If you accept this kiss, I will start thinking seriously about your relationship. I have many women, some pregnant if you are going to have second thoughts or doubts, now is the best time. Because I won't let another man approach you after this kiss." His words were deep, echoing over the crackling of the furnace, while her lips parted, staring into his eyes with a sense of surprise. 

The feeling of possessiveness and a powerful desire to monopolise her caused Zentia's heart to race... Never being pursued like this before... Raven was a bit like a cooler version of her father... as Zentia was a father's girl... Now she realised why her mother always said, "You need to find a man as good as your dad... silly girl, that's like looking for diamonds in the latrine!"

She didn't speak, letting his fingers lift her chin, closing her beautiful eyes and parting her pink lips slightly before whispering, "Then take me."

With a light pop, his lips touched hers, and they felt the heat of his kiss spreading through her body.

Zentia felt her heart thud, almost like it would burst from her chest,  as she wrapped her arms around his neck, gripping his muscular shoulders to keep herself standing.

His tongue slipped into her mouth, dancing around hers, exploring it as his hand wrapped around her back to pull her closer.

The heat intensified as her hands ran over his muscles, sliding down his chest to the bulge in his pants, but his hands pushed her away, lifting her onto his lap as the kiss became more passionate.

Her lips left his for a moment, trailing along his cheek to his ear and nibbling it while whispering huskily, "I can feel it; it's throbbing..."I think you should take a look at

His hands lifted her shirt before sliding under her overalls and grabbing her breast through her bra.

"Ahhh. It's so warm, Raven..." she whispered, kissing him as she leaned back into his lips, pressing her breasts against his palms.

She moaned softly as he tweaked her nipples between his fingers and thumb; the tingling sensation caused her head to swim as her fingers slid down to his crotch.

"Not now, Zentia." His words were soft before letting her down, kissing her one last time.

"Raven..." she whimpered as her head rested against his shoulder.

"Zentia... I'm not sure how I feel yet... You need to take your time, too," he said before smiling, seeing her sad face. "Don't look so upset; you know I am happy to kiss you whenever you want. But I have a week; I cannot lose to my lower body and become her slave, right?"

She chuckled and looked up, "I thought you didn't want me... almost made me cry, bastard!"

"It's alright," he said, stroking her cheek lovingly.

"I understand you're busy... but Raven, I won't let you go now! You've already ignited the key to my heart." Her words were sincere as she looked at him seriously.

He kissed her forehead. "Alright, I'll come back after I defeat that lizard; then we can go on a date or do whatever you wish."

"Mmmm. Sounds wonderful," she smiled.

Raven stood up and placed the axe on the counter as the pair clung together, but it was more wholesome as she hugged his arm and inspected the axe. "Oh wow... did you use this to deflect her flare? Impressive... the damage is only to the outer shell... I plan to add a chain that will be fixed to your arm with a gauntlet or bracer... what do you think?"

"Oh? It might be dangerous if used badly, but if used well... I wouldn't lose my weapon randomly again! Haha!" 

With a small squeak, she kissed his cheek before running into the back of her workshop; after she vanished, Raven heard loud banging and slamming as her cute voice said, "Where did I put it~ ahh!? So frustrating!"

"Hmph. That's cute..." Raven said to himself as he waited for Zentia.

A few minutes later, she ran out, panting heavily, sweat dripping down her forehead, "Sorry... I was looking for it."

"You don't have to rush," he said.

She wiped the sweat with the towel from earlier and walked around the counter.

"What do you think about using these for your new axe model and armour to go over that bodysuit to resist the high heat and flames?"

She held two huge, scale-like sheets bigger than her body. Raven was confused at first before she continued, "One if from the strongest Red dragon to exist in the universe! He could burn anything to ashes with his Anima flare, something far beyond the Zera flare you faced..."

"Then the blue one! It is from the most beautiful and graceful ice dragon in the world. Her frozen prison can resist even the Anima flare, fabled to be the strongest dragon flare to exist!"

Zentia placed them both on the counter, making it creak from the weight. "These two will cost 10000 Credits each; it is quite expensive but worth the price, in my opinion."

Raven nodded and took out his phone before swiping it over the payment station just at the door of her workshop; the payment was confirmed immediately Zentia just smiled, planning to pay it back to him somehow... not wanting to rob her future boyfriend of so much money.

She smiled and placed her hand along the two scales, one her father's and the other her second mother, Sylvaria's, stroking them as she felt happy to help Raven.

"Well, this is the end of your deal, Raven. If you lose your axe, come back tomorrow and get another kiss from me. Deal?"

"Deal," he said, leaning forward and gently kissing her cheek.

As he left the store, she watched him walk away with a dreamy look before she turned around and saw the figure of a tall red-haired male with huge horns and a handsome look, only surpassed by Raven himself and a small, plump goblin with long black hair, watching the almond skinned orc now jogging with a smile on his face... sometimes looking back and slowing.

"Fufu~ it looks like my future son-in-law is rather cute." The goblin chuckled before feeling her husband's tight pinch on her ass before slipping inside her pants. "Now, now~ don't get jealous, Vincent... it's the children's time now.. we are old, so many children and grandchildren fufu."

"Hmph... The bastard has a long way to go before I give my Zentia away! However... this world is strange... why are Daemons and the dungeons here..." His red eyes looked outside at the huge pillars in the skies before he shook his head.

"Mother approves... he could have eaten you up, like your clueless father back then! But he held back—what a good boy. Don't let those other witches snatch his heart! Fight my daughter. You finally showed signs as a woman!"

"Mel'Zeth! Don't encourage her! What if that brat gets her pregnant and leaves her!?"

"Hush, he seems more responsible than you, always running around and separating from us for months!"

"Ugh... I was.... that..." 

"See... You are worse than he was! So don't grouch; accept your future son-in-law. Didn't you always want a boy who was just like you? So stop crying to Efrita and support your daughter's love!"

"Ngh.... women.... too strong!"

"Hmph! Daddy~ he will beat you up, and I will give you many cute granddaughters! Don't be stingy!" 

"Heh... I gave you my most powerful scale! What if I go bald!" 

"Keh.... then I will laugh at you!"

"Little girl!"

And so the blacksmith in the small city of Arcadia didn't know they were housing two gods and merely continued their usual daily business.
